The Mood Killer

I really enjoy being social with people, but I really hate leaving my house. You would think that this would mean I would put more effort into being a good host, so that people would constantly be coming by to visit me, but I also hate having people up in my space. One would think that my solution would be some sort of internet-related video chatting party, but...I find that impersonal, and I find instant messaging systems somewhat frustrating. There are the days, that I manage to force myself to throw parties, though, like New Year's Eve.
